User:ChuckPalumbo2009/Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (game guide)

This is a walkthrough to Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban for PS2.

Hogwarts Express
A cutscene will show where Harry, Ron and Hermione talk about Sirius Black's escape from Azkaban. Crookshanks then chases Scabbers out of their carriage. Ron and Hermione have a short lived argument and Harry decides to help Ron find Scabbers. Ron provokes the Monster Book of Monsters, so it's time for a battle! - - There is a case blocking the door so both Ron and Harry will have to lift it to get to the next carriage, which is the dining area. And -gasp!- it's Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle! Malfoy casts Rictusempra and we get in another battle! - - A cutscene will show and a Dementor will get into your carriage and Harry will get all drowsy. Someone will scream, which turns out to be Harry's mother being murdered by You-Know-Who. Hermione will get help so you have to drag Harry out of 2 carriages. Be careful when the Dementor comes close because then you need to wiggle the left analog stick around to free Harry. Eventually, Lupin will come and cast Expecto Patronum. Harry will wake up in his carriage and Lupin will give Harry the Folio Bruti
 * Boss 1: Ron's great plan got us in battle! |
 * You basically cast Flipendo 4 times and Ron|
 * will dive on the book. Scabbers will run to|
 * the next cabin. Lovely jubbly!            |
 * Boss 2: Keep casting Flipendo till they're |
 * down and out! Watch out for that orange   |
 * spell, which gives you a pumpkin-head! Now |
 * you fight Malfoy, which can take you about |
 * 5 seconds. And your done! Yay!            |

Hogwarts - First Night
You start in the boy's dormitory and you need to show Ron the Folio Bruti and you can't leave until you do. Hermione says you could've made your battle with Malfoy and his cronies a whole lot easier with the Expelliarmus spell. You get the spell and now practise it outside. You must have the spell equipped to the triangle button because circle switches between the three. Cast Flipendo at Ron and he'll repel it back at you. He'll do the same to you, but as I said, you must have the spell equipped. After, Ron decides it's time to see the new location of Fred and George's shop, which is on the sixth floor. AAGH!! IT'S PEEVES!! And he has a weird looking book. He'll throw it at Ron and fireworks will shoot out of it. Time to put Expelliarmus to use. And another boss battle! - - You can now progress and Fred and George will say that they have hidden a piece of parchment called the Marauder's Map. The good news is it shows you all the floors and stuff. The bad news is only one of you can have it, so it's up to Ron or Harry to find it. Ron is more the sneaker, so he's more likely to find all the secrets and stuff. There's something weird about the wall Fred and George are standing in front of (according to Ron) and press X to open the wall. Once inside, there's some weird cage thing. Once lifted, a small space will open. Hermione will have to get through that later on in the game. In the next room, a floor is there. When you get a bit close, it'll crack and turn into part floor, part bottomless pit. Harry can only get across those holes because he's more agile. Once all the switches are pressed, pixies will be released. It takes two Flipendos to kill them. Get the one that has Ron by the ears. There'll be another secret wall. Ron will need to open that. There's a door ahead and there's a puzzle!
 * Boss 3: The book will fire pyrotechnics and |
 * it's actually kind of hard to hit the damn |
 * thing! It is finally killed! The old,      |
 * cracked book. Ron say not to come back and |
 * he'll hardly bother you anymore            |
